NEW ORLEANS — Scott Shanle jogged towards the sideline believing Darren Sharper made another spectacular play by interception St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford the same way he did Mark Sanchez a year ago.

And then he looked up.

It was 27 darting down the sideline, not 42.

Jenkins’97-yard pick-six of Bradford changed the nature of New Orleans’ Sunday game against the Rams and the Saints went on to beat the Rams 31-13.

Instead of the Rams turning a turnover into a touchdown, Jenkins gave the Saints seven points and a 21-6 halftime lead.

“Whether it’s playing in the nickel, the back end at safety, he’s a guy that has good instincts,” Head Coach Sean Payton said. “That mental makeup, along with his skill set, serves him well. You find him around the ball and can play the ball. Made some significant plays today and has played well this season.”
